The Simple Joy of a Large Puddle
Gail and I were at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos yesterday morning. We were supposed to see Santa Claus land at Hiller Aviation in a helicopter, and also hear our friend and his local community band play Christmas carols while the children talk to Santa Claus. We were told that if it rained that morning, Santa would come in a car instead. When we woke up that morning, it was pouring rain, so we assumed Santa would not fly in, so we slept in and left late to the event. Well, when we got there, Santa had already arrived by helicopter because the rain stopped long enough for him to fly in. Also, we missed our friend's local band play Christmas Carols. We decided to look walk around anyway, and when we walked outside, we saw these kids playing and splashing in a giant puddle of rain water. I guess a large puddle is irresistible to kids, and it seemed like the children enjoyed this more than seeing Santa Claus.

All the colors with the kids against the grey sky adds to this photo. The reflections of the kids and the happy faces makes me want to jump right into the middle of the puddle.
We are only young once.

I love this photo!! I tried posting earlier and ....... i dont know... my attempt failed... but with that said the colors are amazing.. you can enjoy the energy and the simplicity of a time (I) wish I had thought about more often throughout the last 15 years ... . this is the kind of photography I want to get better at and be lucky enough to stumble upon.
